Over the years, the genre has grown to be a staple of television and even changed the programing focus of networks like the '' History Channel'' and the '' Travel Channel''. By highlighting beliefs in topics ranging from Bigfoot to aliens, paranormal television continues to elevate popular interest in the paranormal. History Early precursors (1950s–1999) Accounts of supernatural occurrences have always been common in the print media. The 1705 pamphlet "A True Relation of the Apparition of One Mrs Veal" by Daniel Defoe is a well-known example.

The earliest TV show devoted exclusively to the paranormal was ''One Step Beyond'' which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
